1387 Milford RD Newton, GA 39870

Peace Ichawaynochaway Retreat is a breathtaking +-87 acre property on the famed Ichawaynochaway Creek (aka Nochaway Creek), a pristine & major tributary to the Flint River. Ichawaynochaway is a Muskogee Indian word that means "the place where deer sleep", which pays homage to just how peaceful the creek, and this property, is. Nochaway is famous for it's rich Native American history, including Indian "fish traps" located along the run of the creek. Properties seldom come available on Nochaway Creek, especially one of this caliber. Situated on a bluff at the confluence of the Nochaway Creek & Alligator Creek is a spectacular 2 story 4 bedroom 2.5 bath, 2300 square foot, cypress sided house with 2 fireplaces; elevated above the 500 year flood zone. The view from inside, the wrap around porch, and the four level deck is unforgettably beautiful. Fish for bream, catfish, and bass right from the lower level deck while enjoying the hot tub! Underneath the house is ample storage, plus a sink and cabinets, making the perfect fish cleaning station. Need extra space? At the other end of the property from the creek house is a massive 7200 square foot climate controlled garage with 12 roll up doors. 720 square feet of it is finished as a 1 bedroom 1 bath guest house. The large garage space has been used to house the seller's antique car collections in the past and is suitable for any number of uses requiring climate controlled space. The main house has a chimney accommodating two fire places, one on the first living level has raised hearth with built in screen. The second one is underneath the first living level and can function as a fireplace, but is currently configured as a grill and barbeque oven. It is about five feet above the cement floor. It has two grate like shelves for placement of meat, and a steel door which may be closed to retain more heat and smoke. Peace Ichawaynochaway Retreat also has a pole barn and sheds for additional equipment storage, and well-built internal roads which are graveled where needed. As you enter the property you are greeted by aesthetic mature pines that gradually give way to a mature pine & hardwood mixed forest as you take the scenic drive to the creek house. To your south as you drive in is the scenic Alligator Creek, and along the Nochaway Creek north of the house is a game rich mature hardwood river bottom. The river bottom has a variety of habitat including pockets of wetlands, pockets of high ground, clear running creeks, sloughs, open marsh areas, and mature hardwood forest ranging from sparse to fully timbered. Common hardwood species are oak, cypress, & gum with scattered mature pines. How about an island, or two? Just before the confluence of Alligator Creek and Nochaway Creek is a small island in a bend of Alligator Creek next to the house, with the main channel being on the far side of the island, making the island yours! Then, at the north end of the Nochaway Frontage, a slough creates another island that is on the property.
